Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense instead of the future tense for future actions.
Correct: Use 'relevaré' or 'relevarán' for definite future actions, not 'relevo' or 'relevan'.
Why: While the present can sometimes imply future, the future tense is clearer and more formal for future certainty.
Mistake: Confusing future endings with conditional endings.
Correct: Future endings are -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Conditional endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían.
Why: These are distinct tenses with different meanings and endings.
